George McGovern, the Democratic peace candidate for President in 1972, died on
October 21.
ONE BRIGHT SHINING MOMENT retraces George McGovern's
bold presidential campaign of 1972, a grassroots campaign that fought for
peace and justice and positioned ideas and people first. But what is remembered
today as being the ultimate political defeat of the American Century may also
have been its high watermark. The film poses this central question: what does
the crushing electoral defeat of a man so well respected for his decency and
intellect say about the electoral process, the American government, and, more
importantly, what does it say about the forces at work on the American people, then and now? Narrated by Amy Goodman, the film features interviews with the
candidate himself, supporters and activists like Gore Vidal, Gloria Steinem,
Warren Beatty, Howard Zinn, and music from Bob Dylan, Robbie Robertson,
Donovan, and Elvis Costello.
